A No Nonsense Philosophy
The Hard Facts
Law Enforcement does an excellent job and as much as we would like
to think they can be everywhere at all times, they simply cannot.
The first line of safety is the sole responsibility of the
individual.
No matter what level of preventive measures an individual can
implement, the 3S's, "We simply don't get to choose when our safety
might become compromised". We must be able to react and adapt when
that time comes, if it happens.
It is unfortunate that in these times, there are individuals and
groups permitted to exist in this country who have such a hatred for
the United States, and freedoms and way of life, they want nothing
more than to cause harm and or death to us.
Every day we have the opportunity to face life threatening
situations. With the presence of threat factors, from a common
street thug robber, rapist, purse snatching, car jacking's, to
threats of terrorism from "Islamic Extremists" factions, multi-layer
personal protection is warranted.
Personal protection comes in many forms, deadly force, to self
defense and hand-to-hand combat, electronic defensive items, to
chemical defensive agents.
S3S Tactical Solutions
S3S is Situational Awareness, Strategy, and Stand your Ground.
The 3-S Factor's
Situational Awareness
Identifying and understanding what is going on around you, paying
attention to your surroundings, and the ability to process a
challenging and changing situation. We don't get to chose when an
encounter happens. What we can do is be aware of our surroundings,
understand the immediate environment, make assessments. Situational
Awareness is understanding your place within all else around you.
You are the actor in theater.
Strategy
Have a plan, an exit strategy if a situation develops into an
interactive theater. Have a strategy for removing yourself from a
situation when situation awareness factors have not prevailed. If
encountering a situation, have a strategy for resolving your
position. Have an exit plan, an interaction protocol. Strategy is
knowing what reactions can be taken in response to actions.
Stand Your Ground
As a last stand, and when all other strategies have been exhausted,
and an individual is faced with imminent danger, it may become
necessary to stand your ground.
If a situation does not possess a strategy or retreat, it may be
necessary to Stand your Ground to protect yourself. It is third, as
it is a last resort if all other factors do not resolve.
Use of force is a serious decision, a decision that should be a last
resort when all options are exhausted, or imminent danger is
unavoidable, not negotiable. That said, use of force should be
maintained as an option, before it becomes the only option.
